Absolutely imperative for Trump to sign an order that would use the military to produce critical medicines. It would create American jobs and decrease the dangerous dependency on China for the medical supply chain.

China may restrict American access to medical supplies in retaliation for U.S. regulations on Huawei, according to a prominent economist and Chinese Communist Party adviser.

“For vitamins and antibiotics, more than 90% of their raw materials are produced in China,” Tsinghua University finance professor Li Daokui said in reply to new regulations targeting the flagship telecommunications company. “The U.S. will definitely not be able to produce them in the short term. Disrupting the Chinese economy is equivalent to picking a fight with the Chinese people on the food issue. China can then pick a fight with the U.S. on the supply of medicines, right?”
